US judge upholds New York law barring immigration agents from courthouses
Judge D’Agostino ruled New York can refuse federal assistance with immigration arrests at courthouses, citing the Tenth Amendment and protecting state sovereignty and resources.
- On November 17, District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino in Albany dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's suit seeking to force New York to assist federal civil immigration arrests at state courthouses.
- Challenging New York's courthouse protections, the federal case aimed to invalidate rules barring civil immigration arrests, feeding a national debate on local versus federal enforcement.
- Legal analysis in the order emphasized precedents from New Jersey, Illinois and California and warned that invalidation would strip voluntary state participation from enforcement efforts, while District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino said reframing the issue as intergovernmental immunity `would provide an end-run around the Tenth Amendment`.
- The ruling preserves state sovereignty and prevents compelled resource allocation, affirming New York State sovereignty and shielding state resources from federal immigration enforcement.
- The order took effect immediately and the case was closed, with judgment entered for New York, marking a win for state autonomy that may influence other states considering courthouse policies.
